SUMMARY:March 20-21: 24 Hours For the Lord
DESCRIPTION:8:15 am March 20 to 8:15 am March 21: Mir House of Prayer (6492 MO-6\, St Joseph\, Mo.) \n8:45 am March 20 to 8:15 am March 21: St. Thomas More Parish in Kansas City\, Mo. (11822 Holmes Rd\, Kansas City\, Mo.) \nMARCH 26 CITY-WIDE CONFESSIONS: A city wide opportunity for confessions on March 26 from 3 pm – 7 pm at all the parishes in St. Joseph\, Mo.:  Cathedral\, St. Francis\, St. James\, St. Mary’s\, St. Patrick’s and Our Lady of Guadalupe.  \nIn response to the 24 Hours for the Lord initiative\, the Office of Divine Worship is co-sponsoring 24 hours of adoration and confessions with Mir House of Prayer in St. Joseph\, Mo. and St. Thomas More Parish in Kansas City\, Mo. \nThe 24 Hours for the Lord initiative was first launched in 2014 by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. This year’s theme is taken from Luke 7:48: ‘Your sins are forgiven’. \nIn his 2018 Lenten message\, Pope Francis invited the entire Church to “celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation in the context of Eucharistic adoration”. \n“Lent summons us\, and enables us\, to come back to the Lord wholeheartedly and in every aspect of our life\,” the pontiff said. \n“Above all\, I urge the members of the Church to take up the Lenten journey with enthusiasm\, sustained by almsgiving\, fasting and prayer. If\, at times\, the flame of charity seems to die in our own hearts\, know that this is never the case in the heart of God! He constantly gives us a chance to begin loving anew.” \nThe pope also desired that at least one church in each diocese around the world to remain open for twenty-four consecutive hours\, offering an opportunity for both Eucharistic adoration and sacramental confession. \nIf you are interested in covering an adoration hour\, please contact Lorie Sage in the Office of Divine Worship via email. \nPDF: 24 Hours for the Lord Flyer (2020) \n\nResources/Recursos \nExaminations of Conscience \nHow to go to Confession/Como Confesarse \nActs of Contrition/Acto de Contrición \nUSCCB’s resource page on Confession

SUMMARY:April 26: Day of Prayer in Atonement for those Harmed by Sexual Abuse
DESCRIPTION:“It’s an important step for the Church to publicly profess its apology for the harm caused to victim-survivors by their perpetrators and the mishandling of the abuse within the Church.” Whitney True-Francis\, victim assistance coordinator for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph \nApril 26 | Day of Prayer in Atonement for those Harmed by Sexual Abuse\nEach year since 2017\, the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph sets aside one day during Child Abuse Prevention Month devoted to prayer in atonement for those harmed by sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. This started with the Service of Lament in 2016\, where Bishop James Johnston made five commitments to the people of the diocese which included naming April 26 as an Annual Day of Prayer. Bishop Johnston will celebrate Mass on April 26\, 2023\, at 12:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Joseph to which the entire community is invited. \n\nSERVICES AND GATHERINGS\nApril 25 | Vision of Courage Art Show \n\nFeaturing art by students from diocesan schools—Tuesday\, April 25th in the Cardinal Baum room at the Catholic Center.\n\nApril 26 | Diocese Day of Prayer in Atonement for Those Harmed by Sexual Abuse \n\n12:00 pm| Mass | Cathedral of St. Joseph. 519 N. 10th Street\, St. Joseph\, MO Planned by the diocese\, this Mass will recognize the 7th annual Day of Prayer. Bishop Johnston will be the presider.  A counselor will be available after Mass for those who would like to talk. Clergy will also be available after Mass\n\nApril 26 | Prayer Service- Seeking Light in the Darkness \n\n6:30-7:30pm | Prayer Service | A lay-led service inspired by Seeking Light in the Darkness\, created by clergy abuse survivors – Precious Blood Renewal Center – 2120 St. Gaspar Way\, Liberty\, MO 64068.\n\nDuring April: Traveling Pinwheel Garden \nThe pinwheel is the symbol of child abuse prevention because\, by its very nature\, it connotes playfulness\, joy\, and childhood. For survivors of clergy sexual abuse in our diocese\, the innocence of childhood was replaced by shame and fear. With this traveling display we hope to honor survivors and let them know that there are people who care about them. \n\n\n\n\n\nApril 3 | Nativity of Mary\nApril 11 | St. Peter’s\nApril 17| Visitation\nApril 21 | Bishop LeBlond High School\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				St. Peter’s pinwheel garden\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Nativity of Mary Pinwheels\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Visitation pinwheel garden\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bishop LeBlond pinwheels\n				\n		\n\n\nMeet the Office of Child and Youth Protection\nIf you experienced sexual abuse as a minor by a member of Catholic clergy\, religious or Church volunteer\, please consider making a report.
